LuAnn Ellen Krueger, age 77, died early Monday, October 13, 2025, at her home in Brillion. LuAnn was born in Kewaunee on August 29, 1948, to the late Elmer and Doris (Kittel) Pilgrim. Following her graduation from high school, LuAnn spent her career working at Ariens, the majority in assembly and material handling. She married Earl Krueger on November 29, 1995. LuAnn was an avid reader, and she loved fishing and camping. Going to craft fairs with Betty always held a special place in her heart, as did her dog, Teddy. Above all, LuAnn cherished her family and the time she spent with them.

LuAnn is survived by her husband, of almost 30 years, Earl; her children: Chris (Stefani), Chad (Amanda), Jesse, Aaron (Amy), Nicole (Ryan), and Melissa (Zack); and her grandchildren: Kasi, Harley, David, Jeff, Tiffany (James), Hanna, Jayce, Nakota (Morgan), Seth, Sonya, Marek, Easton, Caleigh, and Michaela. In addition to the many great grandchildren, siblings-in-law, nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends LuAnn leaves behind, she is further survived by sister, Bev Frank, her brother, John Pilgrim, and her best friend of over 50 years, Betty Brehmer.

In addition to her parents, LuAnn is preceded in death by her husband, Jim; her two sons, Joe and Derek Kline; two grandchildren: Kristina and Caleb; and her siblings: Charlotte, Joan, Lana, and Shirley.
